Mentors-In-Residence

Building Confidence and Increasing Comfort in Networking

The structure of the Mentor-in-Residence program is uniquely designed to make having conversations with professionals feel more like a small group chat with like-minded friends. Sometimes, the easiest way to get started with networking is to realize that the process of outreach and connection doesn't have to be solitary — put differently, 在群体中建立人际关系是很好的! Through the Mentor-in-Residence program, one alum typically meets with small groups of up to 4 students at a time for 30-minute chats over the course of an afternoon. The program aims to build student comfort and confidence networking alongside peers while still getting individualized attention from an alum.
